This may be the moment you’ve been waiting for, or maybe it’s the one you’re dreading: Potty training. Most kids are ready to begin toilet training sometime between the ages of two and three. If your child can stay dry for a couple of hours, lets you know when his diaper is wet or soiled or shows an interest in using the potty, he’s probably ready.
